Washington State highway scales are calibrated, certified, and documented on a regular basis due to the nature of their use in interstate commerce and commercial vehicle enforcement. What good is an overweight ticket if the apparatus used to determine the weight was undocumented...…
No I totally agree, it was just the place I worked had it done monthly by the company who installed the scale. Truck weights on our scale very rarely matched what the state scales said. Never made any sense to me. Trucks hauled industrial gasses. I was a plant operator, so I had to load the trailers.
I remember weighing my Bonneville and Trans Am on the scales at work and they were pretty accurate. The Bonney being 3800lbs with a few tank of gas and the WS6 bein 3680 with a full tank and me in it.
Never had them on a State Scale.
